IF you have enough screen real-estate, you can run multiple instances of 
MMTTY (with different decoders assigned to them, as well). In that case, 
the {CLRRX} command only clears the main DI1 window. The auxiliary 
windows do not clear with that command. I just tested this using Version 
12.1.1 out of curiosity.

In N1MM Logger you can have 5 receive windows going simultaneously. You 
can click call signs in any of the windows and they populate the Entry 
Window. So if you run at least one extra window, you can scroll that one 
backward to recover information that has been cleared off the main DI 
window.

In SO2R you could have an auxiliary window defined for the second radio 
as well. That doesn't resolve the "clearing the wrong window" issue, but 
you can still capture the information.
